MAUD Rietveld Refinement Software for Neutron Diffraction Texture Studies of Single‑ and Dual‑Phase Materials.

ABSTRACT: This work presents a detailed instructional demonstration using the Rietveld refinement software MAUD for evaluating the crystallographic texture of single- and dual-phase materials, as applied to High-Pressure-Preferred-Orientation (HIPPO) neutron diffraction data obtained at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) pole figures on Ti-6Al-4V produced by additive manufacturing. This work addresses a number of hidden challenges intrinsic to Rietveld refinement and operation of the software to improve users' experiences when using MAUD. A systematic evaluation of each step in the MAUD refinement process is described, focusing on devising a consistent refinement process for any version of MAUD and any material system, while also calling out required up
